Rotary Machine Carpet Shampooing
|
Rotary Shampooing is used as a restorative cleaning method or when the carpet is extremely soiled and will not respond to extraction cleaning alone. This process involves feeding Carpet Shampoo through a shower feed shampoo brush attached to the bottom of a 175-300 rpm rotary type floor machine. As it dispenses liquid from an attached solution tank, the detergent is worked into the carpet. The floor machine is moved across the carpet in a circular motion, continuosly overlapping the previous one to work the shampoo into the pile
Note :
Always break in a new brush on concrete prior using to using it on carpet |

This procedure is old technique as the carpet cleaners would say, but its still good and it is believed to be among one of the best methods for carpet cleaning. However, using this procedure is so hard to perfect. The possibility of damaging the fibers and over wetting the carpet somehow leaves a residue. This residue will make the dirt and the soil become harder to remove as time goes by.
Machines nowadays have these features: brushes that have good cleaning capability, excellent extraction capability that even the soils that are hard to remove most likely be removed plus with improved chemicals. With all of these factors, you have a sure way of having a good cleaning result.
So, using the Dual Process Method or buying new machines that do carpet shampooing have the same result.
